Under Brandon Weeden the Browns had scored one touchdown in 8 quarters. In the 8 quarters since his injury, the Browns have changed their fortunes. Brian Hoyer has found the endzone five times turning guys like Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron into legitimate NFL receiving options.
During yet another stunning victory by a team that looked ready to completely implode into insignificance, the Browns managed to really clean up the play and decisively outplay a team that many pick as the best in the division. Even with some missed opportunities, the Browns managed to cruise to victory on the back of a defense that is getting better and better with each performance.
The icing on the cake is the fact that the Browns defeated the Bengals dropping them to 0-2. The Ravens lost a stunner of their own to the Bills dropping them to 0-2. And finally the Steelers lost their fourth straight game to open the season. A 0-4 start is the kiss of death to a season, and it appears that instead of the Browns being dead and buried already, the Steelers will now hold that honor.
Short week to celebrate, the team is right back on the field on Thursday against those very same Bills that just knocked off the Ravens. It will be interesting to hear how the coaches are going to handle our QB situation this week. It has appeared that they intended to put Brandon Weeden back into the starting lineup once healthy, but I can't see what scenario this week that makes that possible now.
